Transcript

[Ebro Darden]

Just don't call it a podcast.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Something wrong just mean you don't hear the beat.

[Ebro Darden]

No.

[Laura Rosenberg]

And every day I do the same thing.

[Ebro Darden]

Hey, good Lord.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Every day the mute buttons push.

[Ebro Darden]

We got plans man. It'll get better, man. It'll get better. But it better hurry on up, man. Ebro Laura Rosenberg. Good morning everybody. Welcome to the program. Shout out to everybody in the chat tuned in. Let us know where you're listening from too. I would love to know where you're actually tuned in from. Or are you at home? Are you in the car? Well don't text in in the car but are you in the tri state area somewhere around the world? We would love all of that intel just so we can connect with you the right way. Now speaking of the tri state area, Laura, did we load up the weather report today? Because I think we gotta get people ready for what's about to transpire. Right?

[Laura Rosenberg]

I mean I, I think we do especially have listeners from all over and some of, some of our f hit us up like yo, it's going to go down here. That major winter storm that's targeting the southeast this weekend. Crazy amounts of ice and heavy snow.

I can't tell what, how, what we should be expecting for New York. I'm reading there's like a lot of different things. It feels like it's going to be hard to tell kind of till we get a little closer. What exactly is going to hit in New York and up here the worst part of it's definitely the south and across the Midwest it seems.

[Ebro Darden]

You guys recall a few years ago Texas had, remember Ted Cruz bounced into Cancun and the whole Texas was like out of power for a week or whatever. Yeah, yeah, they got smacked up. But it's, it's, I, I think it's a similar situation where it's ice storms and the ice weighs down the power lines and because the streets are basically covered with ice all over like northern Texas, you can't drive. So all across like the norther, the northern parts of the southern states and through like the Tennessee's and things like that. It's supposed to be hectic all the way through across to the Carolinas. I heard DC's about to get hit with something like a foot of snow. I know the Catskills up here in New York are supposed to get blizzard conditions.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Are they saying a foot in dc?

[Ebro Darden]

That's what I read. But I mean maybe, I mean, listen.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I, I, I, I hear, I've heard bad things. I've definitely watched videos of of content, you know, trustworthy content creators telling us that the world is ending next week. You know, that the, the, oh, this weekend.

[Ebro Darden]

This weekend.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I mean, sorry.

[Ebro Darden]

We'll get, we'll get to the, we'll get to the new world order. Slow down. Weather is not the biggest problem we got.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But they, but I, I literally saw a content creator with mad views on it because it. Otherwise why to get fed to me being right when this ice hits, the power goes down, the country's losing power. Everything's happening this weekend. And then also like, you know, and it may turn out to be that, but there's also another model of it that doesn't have it quite as bad. It looks pretty bad at the least it seems like up here. Ebro, you know, selfishly, because most of our people are in New York, seems like up here we're going to be not too bad. Several inches of snow. But the south does look like it's getting. Yeah. You know, Absolutely.

[Ali Jackson]

Yeah.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I'll tell you what it feels like outside right now, though.

[Ebro Darden]

No, it's cold. Rahsaan, run. Run the Internet weather report we acquired from whomever we acquired it from.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Here we go. Reliable news.

[Aaron Partners]

We have some extremely serious news right now. Forecasters are predicting a possible catastrophic storm that could impact southern states from Texas to the Carolinas this weekend. And if you live in any southern state, get ready. Here's what you need to know. The National Weather Service is now warning that you can get up to 3 inches of ice in places like northern Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and into the Carolinas. But it's not just that. The east coast all the way to the mid Atlantic and potentially even the Northeast could get up to a foot of snow, a foot of snow to places like Washington, D.C. the real problem, though, is going to be the ice, especially in many of these southern states because forecasters predict the temperatures to be at or below freezing for several days. And an inch of ice is bad, A half an inch of ice is bad. But 2 to 3 inches of ice could leave people without power for days, maybe even weeks. So you, if you live in any state from northern Texas to Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, southern Kentucky, southern Missouri and more. Get ready and start to prepare now. You could be without power for a long time if this once in a generation storm materializes, which all intents and purposes looks likely. So spread the word and follow for more.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Wow.

[Ebro Darden]

Aaron Partners. Thanks, Aaron Partners.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Aaron Partners, AKA Al Broker. My man went for once in a generic world once in a generation Story.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, man. Generation. I mean, listen, what do you. What would you rather have people. And I struggle with this, I'll be honest. Similarly, I'm like, yo, come on with the end of the world. But on the other hand, if it.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Is that bad, right, you got to be prepared.

You'd rather have people be over prepared for.

Yes, absolutely.

But I mean, there's. There's little things that he's saying in there that are like. He's like. And a foot of snow to places like Washington D.C. don't get me wrong. A foot of Snow in Washington D.C. it, you know, it's only every many years, but it happens every six, seven years, 10 years. It's happening.

[Ebro Darden]

The biggest three inches of ice now that's the.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's the crazy. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I wouldn't have known if you'd said how much ice is a really bad amount of ice. I wouldn't have known.

[Ebro Darden]

A quarter. Any ice is bad.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Three sounds bad. Three sounds like a skating rink.

[Ebro Darden]

Yes. Yeah, well.

[Laura Rosenberg]

And.

[Ebro Darden]

And I can't help it. I'm sorry, guys. You guys know I don't forget things. If it's once in a generation and we're not doing anything to counteract what we're doing to the planet and the states that are receiving this once in a generation situation also vote for politicians who don't care about protecting the planet. You got to hit the button. Sorry.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's happening this weekend one way or the other.

[Ebro Darden]

Congratulations, you played yourself and Russia. Did you see the videos of Russia?

[Laura Rosenberg]

No.

[Ebro Darden]

Seven feet of snow in the last couple days, bruh.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Seven feet.

[Ebro Darden]

People are skiing off the roofs of their buildings. Congratulations, you played yourself.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Damn, that is crazy. Now before we end up skiing ourselves right into a political talk for 25 minutes because I know how we do. I do want to remind everyone. Am I breaking up today? You hearing me break up or no?

[Ebro Darden]

I did, but keep going. Don't pay attention to it. Just act like it's happening. That way everybody watching will think it's their equipment, not ours. Keep going.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I'm gonna reset my. Ish. Today's Patreon day. Patreon debut day. Okay, so in a little while here like a half hour 35. This is a bad promo.

[Ebro Darden]

Nobody's buying Patreon with your whack ass equipment. This is why I told you to charge a quarter. We can't deliver. I'm trying to tell you guys we needed to accept EBT and snap charter. This whack ass is right here.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No we're gonna get it together. We'll be fine era.

[Ebro Darden]

We'll be fine. Anyway, yes, we premiere on Patreon today. So please get over there and subscribe. You will get added content every week. Matter of fact, one of our plans, if everything goes as planned, will premiere on Patreon this Friday. So, matter of fact, if you subscribe this week, you might get two pieces of two jammies situations this week. And I've already lined up. Matter of fact, I've already started lining up because on Patreon we could get to playing music. I've already started lining up premiering music with some producers and DJs. I love that, but it's too. I can't really tell everybody the whole thing, Laura, because there's. I'd be giving away two of our plans too soon. Yeah. Kind of like a phobia about telling.

[Laura Rosenberg]

People we've got plans done.

[Ebro Darden]

So I just go with I got plans. Yes, but there's a world where you're subscribing to Patreon and artists and DJs and producers that we know come premiere their stuff with us on their Patreon. On our Patreon.

[Ebro Darden]

It was really more like. It was really more like Friday Night Live or some sort of club situation, like a dj.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I know, but I was just throwing back to the 80s actual show that existed. You remember Friday Night Videos?

[Ebro Darden]

I know, it was great.

[Ebro Darden]

You hit yourself with the button.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I thought I was sure when I got.

[Ebro Darden]

Congratulations.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You played yourself great. So instead of plugging the actual Patreon there, Ebro's gonna spend the entire Time ragging on me. And we're not gonna get one bit of promo. And then I turned it back on. And Ebro is professional.

[Ebro Darden]

Besides, I would rather. I would rather. I would rather issue on you to your face.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm not really a behind your back kind of guy. No.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Ebro feels that if he's. Long as he issues on you to your face, then it's good.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and then I'll look at you in your face and be like, yo, what you so upset about?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah. And then go.

[Ebro Darden]

And then I don't know why I got a problem.

[Laura Rosenberg]

And then. Exactly. And then if the person gets offended. And then if the person gets offended, he goes, I said it to their face. And it's like, just because you said it to their face, that doesn't make it good.

Yeah, no, it does.

It makes you. It makes you more honest. It doesn't make it right. But we could do it on Patreon today. And I want you to play me the. The best rocky joints today, because I. Let me tell you, in this baby life, the sitting down with music is not in a great spot right now. So I need you to.

[Ebro Darden]

It's tough.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I need to play me some joints.

[Ebro Darden]

Ladies and gentlemen, do you realize that right now. Well, yesterday the Canadian Prime Minister basically said that the relationship and the allyship that we've known between the United States of America, Canada, Europe, and the rest of the allies is basically ruptured. Yeah, it's. He said, quote, it's not a transition. It's ruptured, G. It's broken. Then he went on to talk about the power of the powerless, meaning Canada being a smaller nation with a smaller military and what their power actually is. And he did this at the World Economic Forum. So I just want everybody to buckle up, man. This is not. This is not going well. The market dropped yesterday. There's this whole. If you do any investing. Have you guys ever heard of Mad Money Kramer on.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, yeah.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I'm not familiar.

Laura, you've seen Jim Cramer. Google him. You've seen him on tv.

[Ebro Darden]

So there's this. There's this whole thing with, like, investors who say, when Jim Cramer tells you to buy, we're in trouble.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Ah, yes.

[Ebro Darden]

And he was telling people to buy yesterday. Obviously, the market's dropping. So he's saying, hey, look, the market's dropping. That's what, you know, investors buy. You buy low. That's what it is. Buy low, sell high. But also when he's telling you to buy feverishly, that Means something bad is coming. So we're, we're, we yesterday just celebrated a year into the Donald Trump presidency.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Celebrated. That was. You're going with. I like that.

[Ebro Darden]

Observed. Are we going with observed?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Observed is perfect because we definitely observed.

[Ebro Darden]

And yeah, I mean, look, I looked at a, a story that ran through by the numbers, what has happened during the Donald Trump first year.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

They've deported one and a half million people to like damn near two million people have left on their own. Of the millions of people that have been detained and arrested, only 80%, or, excuse me, 80% were not criminals.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah, we know that.

[Ebro Darden]

You could go ahead and run, though. Run those, run that New York Times piece. This, this also, this, this whole New York Times piece is how the Trump, how Trump used the presidency to pocket 1.4 billion. You could just run through those slides real quick. Quick if you want to. So simultaneously, while, yes. ICE is on the streets bullying people, scaring people in their homes, arresting old women, shooting mothers in the face with masks on, many of the promises Donald Trump ran on are happening. He said he was going to deport people. They said they were going to run around and round up people, and people still voted for it. All of this is in Project 2025. So as much, and I say this to point out that the reason people like politicians or politics the way Trump is doing it is because he's keeping his promises.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Even if he's, even if he's has to break the law and people like that.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I saw a report on, you know, the Cubans in Florida, how they're. What was the word this guy used? He's like, yeah, they are concerned, but the support still stands because they're deporting more and more Cubans. And remember, with Cubans, if they committed some kind of crime and Cuba doesn't want to accept them back, they send them to like rando countries. A random country in Africa or Mexico or, I don't know, Central. Yeah, the Caribbean. Remember, whoever takes them.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. Guyana, I think Trinidad. Some other Caribbean nations have done deals because, you know, they got to bend the knee. If you're in the Caribbean and you tell the U.S. no, you're in trouble financially. So you got to do the dance. Yeah, I'll accept your people. You don't want send them.

[Laura Rosenberg]

They're criminals. I'll take them.

Did you guys watch any of the two hour special yesterday?

[Ebro Darden]

The what special?

[Laura Rosenberg]

The Trump stand up.

[Ebro Darden]

No, I didn't see his latest.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, he did, he did. He did almost two hours yesterday.

[Ebro Darden]

What was it about.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It was, it was his address about one year, one year of Trump and in the White House.

[Ebro Darden]

And how was it? Did you have any one liners? It was an entertaining.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You didn't. No clips hit you?

[Ebro Darden]

Not a single clip.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You don't see anything there?

I don't. I will never understand what hits Ebro's world. It's so crazy.

[Ebro Darden]

I got the Canadian prime Minister and said, I saw that.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I saw that too. But it was, no, it was just rambling and insane. And you know, all the, all the things that you think you would do to celebrate a year in office, attacking people, making fun of people, saying everything's great, you know, blaming people for things. You know, then I saw him outside celebrating that, you know, John, John Harbaugh got the Giants job. And at some point I have to play you John Harbaugh's audio guys, because when I tell you the New York Giants new head coach, if you're not looking at him and you're just listening, when I tell you this man sounds exactly like Joe Biden. I have never heard someone sound more like someone else. It's the craziest thing. But Harbaugh, you know, Trump went on truth social and like a week ago was like, Giants hire Harbaugh. And yesterday a reporter asked him, hey, did you, are you excited that they hired Harbaugh? And he goes, well, you know, his, he, him and his brother came to the White House, they brought their parents, the mother, the father. They really liked me. They really, really like, they're big fans of Trump. That's literally all it takes. Did you guys see yesterday? Oh, here's one of the things you missed. In his two hour standup yesterday, he changed his tone about Renee Good to some extent. What do you mean? He said mistakes were made and sounded much more remorseful about it.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, see, that's a good sign, right?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Because he heard that Renee Good's father is a Trumper.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, man, hit the button, yo.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That, that is what.

[Ebro Darden]

Congratulations, you played yourself.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That Renee Good's father, like many a good, like many a good liberal, outspoken white woman, she has a right wing dad. And he found out. And yesterday when he spoke about it, had a little more, a little more empathy when he talked about it. That was one of the many things, again, hard to keep up with when a guy talks for literally almost two hours straight.

[Ebro Darden]

Maybe that's why I didn't, maybe that's why it hasn't hit my time.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Too many, too much editing. There wasn't enough editing to get it to the algorithm. I didn't see, like, I didn't watch a ton of the pieces. I just, like, I just kept seeing Aaron, Rupert and those guys posting clips of him still talking. And it was just talking and talking and talking.

[Ebro Darden]

So you're on Twitter a lot?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Still on the, on the afternoon show. I go on Twitter because I have my computer open while I'm doing the show.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay.

[Laura Rosenberg]

So I'm, like, seeing what anyone's saying, and I will just, like, keep it open now.

[Ebro Darden]

Maybe that's why I'm missing things. I'm on Instagram almost. Almost. Damn. I would say 90% of my social media is Instagram. I never open Twitter.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But your eyes is interesting. So they both have terrible things about them. Of course.

[Ebro Darden]

Of course.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Twitter, Twitter. What's really terrible about it is the commentary and words you would get from people's tweets. What's useful about it, though, is stuff, like, I'm saying, people just straight upload raw news to it. More than Instagram.

[Ebro Darden]

That's Instagram.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You're getting more of the content created by people realized. And then. So there is, like, upside to both. I wish. You know, I know it sounds crazy to ask for social media. It would be cool if someone made one that was a kind of a combo, but was actually good. Because it ain't threads.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, threads fell apart, right? Threads fell apart.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah. It's. It's just like Twitter now.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, maybe worse. It's so bad, guys, I. I can't. So I can watch a video of someone editorializing and discern for myself what I feel might be real here, what I feel might be fake. I'll share it with my friends. What do you guys think? Or I'll even run my Googles to try to, you know, figure out what's real was fake. What? I don't know. What I don't understand.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Who's phony? Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

Who's fake on Twitter or threads? The words incite me. I want to argue. I want to fight.

[Laura Rosenberg]

They want you to.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and they want me to. And so I just don't. I, I, I gotta get out of there. Because I don't like, I don't like. I don't like. I don't like mean people.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, Twitter. Twitter ain't the place for you, buddy.

[ASAP Rocky]

It is.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't like it. And mean people make me want to fight.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I know, I know.

[Ebro Darden]

Which takes me to a convo we were having yesterday about this protest in the church. And I, I thought a lot about it yesterday because I don't think we should be protesting in houses of worship. But what if that house of worship is the kkk?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, because this guy is the guy. Right? That pastor is the number one ICE guy there.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, because I started thinking like, yo, Christian nationalism, the kkk, all of these people, they're aligned. They were in church, they used religion. They hid behind religion.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Like, so are we, are we going to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, yo, they're literally in there plotting the death of individuals. But we're up. But we're not gonna, we're not gonna go inside with our little signs and say, we're unhappy with you. Nobody bombed the church, unlike the KKK did to people.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, regular.

[Ebro Darden]

You know what I'm saying? Or white supremacists do. People went in with their signs and expressed their displeasure and they wanted to use the KKK act against them.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Right, right. Nobody shot up the church.

[Ebro Darden]

Nobody shot it up. Nobody started a fight. No. They went inside and voiced their displeasure with someone who is literally an ICE field agent who is running around communities commanding people at the will of white supremacists, known white supremacists like Stephen Miller to antagonize, abuse, break the law with masks on, by the way, knocking on.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Doors and then runs to the pulpit and acts as if he's Christlike.

[Ebro Darden]

And we're upset with the people who held their little signs. Like that really bothered me all day.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Like our social post that, that we put up the conversation. People were really, really passionate and upset. And upset at us. You guys are agreeing with this dish? What if it was a mosque? What? You know, what if it was a temple? Like, they just kept going.

It was both sides, right, Laura? People were mad on both sides, weren't they?

[Ebro Darden]

I saw both.

[Aaron Partners]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes. Yeah, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Sorry, But I don't know, I, I, I had to get that out today because that really bothered me.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But you're true. But you're also being trolled by our own headline because that really wasn't what our argument was about. Right?

[Ebro Darden]

Well, no, I wasn't thinking about.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You meant the overall conversation.

[Ebro Darden]

I mean the overall conversation where we were actually debating because I, I, I don't want protested churches, but I also don't want churches. I don't want churches hiding behind religion while they're going out in the streets and abusing people, breaking the law. I also am irritated by all types of walks of life, whether they be Jewish, Muslim, Christian, whatever, who use religion to abuse people or, or distort religion to abuse people. I don't like that either. Like, I, I, I don't like it. Are you saying, so then what? And so then when I'm like, oh, so some people showed up with their little signs and, and saying, hey, you're not nice. You're not nice. But people are literally physically abusing people, detaining people, unaliving people, and we're mad at the people with signs, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's. Well, but, but, but Ebro, this is the problem. This is the hard part. Where I saw some of the comments yesterday on, on our YouTube page where people say that I'm like, a weak moderate. This is where it's hard to be on the good side, but where you have to actually really think through. We are against the evildoers, and they need to be fought. But we also need to fight in a moral way. That's the hard part. This is literally why we hold Israel to a higher standard. Because you claimed you were on the good side, we know bad people will go bomb the ish out of people. The reason people get disgusted with the US And Israel is the marketing that they have of. You guys were supposed to be the big west who does great by people. They're not. But the point is, this is what makes it hard. And you are downplaying a little bit, probably. I didn't see everything. I don't know if it's like, But I can't show up with my little signs and go, you're being mean.

[Ebro Darden]

I think if that's the case, it was pretty much that, bro. Okay, cool. The videos I saw was literally, they were standing in the back. And if it's that if the church was like 3/4 empty on a random day, it wasn't like, Sunday. Right.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But again, we're talking about the specifics and we're talking about the broader thing about setting a tone of what we want to be happening.

[Ebro Darden]

Right. That's my point. It's not that I feel like we were wrong. It's. I'm irritated by the idea that someone can hide behind religion and act, all pun intended, holier than thou, but then go out in the street and go, you know what? While, while during the day I'm telling people to do the right thing, I must do the wrong thing. I. And the thing that really makes me insane is the reason you're doing the wrong thing is because your whiteness, your upholding of white supremacy is more important than the God you serve.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Right, Right, right, right. Yeah, of course. Well, racism in the book you're supposed to be adhering to now Racism number one, bro. You know? You know, whatever that racism is, that must. That must hit. You know what I mean? It's like the guys. It's like the child predators who show up on Chris Hansen. I don't know what that does for you, but whatever it is, it got you. You will throw it all away. People throw it all away. It hits so big for them. They love it.

Some of the most nastiest vibe comments I've seen on social media, you click. I'm like, what human is saying this? And they always have a Bible quote across. Something, something, yo.

[Ebro Darden]

And I'm gonna tell everybody right now, I got plans. When it's my time to go see the big guy in the sky or big woman in the sky, whoever they are or whatever it is when I'm sitting there, when it's my chance, I' ma talk to them about this repenting loophole thing, because I think we need to revisit that. You can't just do. You can't just be a straight scumbag for forever, and then on one day, you go sit with, you know, the. The liaison between you and. And the most high, and now everything is all good.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But isn't that. Isn't that. Isn't that a fundamental problem with.

[Ebro Darden]

That's repenting? Yeah, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, but repenting in general. Repenting in general is interesting to me.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, then people are like. I mean, you're a dirt bag. You're on your deathbed. People are standing around your bed waiting for you to die, and you want to lay there and. And apologize for all the evil you did, hopefully. So you get sent to the pearly gates. Hit the f. Out of here, bro. I gotta talk to them about this loophole. This is. This is good. Because the problem I have is it's being abused. It's not that I don't like the concept. People are taking advantage of you. God, no, Satan. Talk to him. You used to be an angel. You tried to take advantage of it. They gave you the boot.

[Natalie (Laura's wife)]

Yo, chill, chill. You don't need to go over my entire history. But the funniest part is I see those people repenting, and I already have their name. Like, they're coming. I have the room.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's reserved.

[Natalie (Laura's wife)]

So the lady who repented on her deathbed after causing Emil to get killed, remember that? She said, oh, mother, we already have a space for you.

[Laura Rosenberg]

All right?

[Natalie (Laura's wife)]

And we had a good time when.

[Ebro Darden]

She got here, all the talk to him, Zane.

[Laura Rosenberg]

So I. I saw there are people who pop up by the Way in our comments who don't love, they love the show and are uneasy with the Satan joke.

[Ebro Darden]

No, no.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh my God. I see it too. Somebody DM me and was like, can you make them stop? I don't even understand him. I'm like, people love it. It's very popular.

[Ebro Darden]

No, no, but time out, time out. I ain't gonna hold you. I don't play. I don't. This is the only plan with Satan I doing. It's probably the wrong foreign to be doing it. I would never play with Satan privately. I just don't. And I don't. And I'm not even that, I'm not even a religious person like that. But just the idea of playing around like Satan's a joke always makes me uneasy.

[Laura Rosenberg]

South park and I think it's hilarious.

Yeah, I, I, I don't so. Well, two things. The Satan isn't in Judaism in a real way, so I have no connection to it except like the exorcist. Right. Which I'm not saying I like, I don't respect people who have a thing for it. But at the same time, I, I used to do the same voice and be God. I didn't, I wouldn't do that here because I know people get super sensitive about that. I just think funny is funny. And I believe that the God that.

[Ebro Darden]

You, Me too, me too.

[Laura Rosenberg]

And I believe that the God that you believe in, the all knowing, all omnipotent creator, I truly believe understands what a joke is. I fully, well, I fully know he.

[Ebro Darden]

Gets well because, because he, she, it, whatever, whatever, whatever pronoun you're using. They gave us the capacity so they.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Know like, so to anyone out there who's tripping, it's like when I hear anyone mentioned, just so you know, God is aware I am a, I, I, I don't know if it's appropriate because I'm Jewish. Can you be God fearing? I'm a God respecting, loving, treat everyone with kindness in real life person.

[Ebro Darden]

You don't fear God?

[Laura Rosenberg]

I don't. The word, the term God fearing usually comes before Christian, God fearing, Christian man or something.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, I think, I think, whether, I think, yeah, fine.

[Laura Rosenberg]

God fearing is always a weird term.

What's the Jewish version?

I, I don, I'm, but I'm a, I'm a barely religious being being a man.

[Ebro Darden]

He's, he's Jewish. He's barely religious.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah, of course I'm barely religious. Oh yeah. I mean, come on. You don't get me started. We'll lose people today. You get me started talking about organized religion. You already. You already hinted towards it earlier with the.

[Ebro Darden]

You.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You tell me all the good and bad organized religion brings is going to be a really tough argument. But, but I, but, but I just say that if we're good people and you treat yourself, treat people around you well and morally, you're allowed to have a laugh, man. It ain't. It ain't that deep.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, but, but if you're. But if you're out here being an evil bastard. No, don't play with entire life. And then you want to act like, yeah, nah, but it's all good. I'm just gonna go confess, repent or whatever.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But people do it weekly.

[Ebro Darden]

People go out, guys, Saturday night, Saturday.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Night they go to the club, they.

[Ebro Darden]

Act like, okay, by the way, I'm fine with that. Go spread your cheeks for money that doesn't even make. And then you want to repent. I'm talking about people who literally knowingly separate families, bomb countries, create famine on purpose for the purpose of making money.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I think they repent. You think they really repent at the.

[Ebro Darden]

End, by the way? Do they. Do they think they're doing it in the name of what they believe in? It's even worse.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's how they excuse it. I think that's how they. They try to sleep at night.

[Ebro Darden]

But is no, yo.

[Laura Rosenberg]

These are.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo. Some of the people who are trafficking in this stuff are orthodox in their religious beliefs.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah, but think about what Islamic extremism is.

[Ebro Darden]

No, that's what I'm saying. All of it.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You literally, you could be blowing up a bus and you're like, no, this is good. And it's like, no, no, that can't be good. Just because you're harming the enemy, this can't be good.

Look at all the cults.

[Laura Rosenberg]

This is.

[Ebro Darden]

No, it's.

[Aaron Partners]

It's the.

[Ebro Darden]

It's the paradox of the human experience. I recognize that, but I just wanted.

[Laura Rosenberg]

To say, just focus on the new world order, bro. We got a new world order. It's over. The US As a good guy is over. The U. S. Has turned heel. We are in wrestling terms, and we have officially turned heel on the rest of the world.

[Ebro Darden]

And remember, it's been 10. Yesterday. Yesterday. It's 10 years since this Trump regime started. That's 2010 years. So that means when you see the Canadian prime minister or you see Denmark and these people being fed up, or you see Mexico being fed up, China doing deals with everyone, everyone's moving or without. The United States, they gave us 10 years grace as vote as the voting public and as this institution to get it right. I said this yesterday.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It.

[Ebro Darden]

Yes, it is about Trump. It's also about our inability and our lack of education and our stupidity as voters that creates this because they can't trust us to elect a person or a government that we can depend on to keep things chill.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I mean, you always throw around we and us very loosely. That's the problem. There is no. I know, but. Yeah, but apparently it's not.

[Ebro Darden]

I try. Listen, I've turned over a new leaf. You guys used to get mad at me when I screamed at everybody and say, y', all, y'. All, y'.

[Laura Rosenberg]

All.

[Ebro Darden]

Now I'm saying us. Us.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, you're not on the radio. No, you're not on the radio anymore. You can't do y' all because these people choosing to be with us. So you can't. Because when you said y', all, you knew you were catching a lot of people who were just let me swing by here with the shade on the black station. You knew you were catching those people. In fact, some of them, they love hip hop, but so they were there. But now these people are coming to be with us, man. These are actual us's. These are actual USS. I would guarantee you, of the people here, 97% voted the right direction in the last three elections. And the other 3% are just Shawnee culture adjacent. And they were like, nah, I don't vote wicked. It's all wicked. But 97% are with us.

[Ebro Darden]

Throw. Throw. It up in the chat. Throw up blue if you voted. Damn. Throw up red if you voted. Repub.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Repug. Laura, do we. Don't we. Laura, do you want to give some. Laura, you want to give some super chat shout outs? Do you see them?

I don't see them.

We had. We had some super chat. Damn. I had them and then they went away. It's like, it's. It's annoying. I don't know why it's not just hovering over.

I know.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, why you guys do that? Did you guys know Tiffany Haddish was married to herself, bro?

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's the most ridiculous thing.

Yes, Tiffany. Tiffany. Tiffany Haddish turns out to be a lot. Like, she's a lot. In general, she's a lot. There's always like a. Like you just want Tiffany Haddish to be this funny, lovely, charming actor, and she is. But then there's always like stories that there's some extra.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, I think this is a troll, though. I mean, this is just her.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's what I mean. That's what extra usually is.

[Ebro Darden]

It's all just. I think she's honestly just a walking comedy skit. I don't think she takes herself that serious. I think other people take her series.

[Laura Rosenberg]

So. No, she, she. There are people who get pretty tight about Tiffany Hadish.

[Ebro Darden]

What? Tell me I'm wrong, Laura. Tell me if I'm wrong. I, I've only had positive interactions with the lady, so I'm basing it on that.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Right? No, she's been super nice to us and when she came on her shoes, she was great. It's just this. Oh, I mean, a lot of people were just super turned off. Remember when she took that trip to Israel and she said that she was going to go visit Gaza and see things for herself and that was just a hot mess. And like, I don't know, I just happened there.

[Ebro Darden]

I missed that. Was it bad? Was she dishonest?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Do you remember this, Rosenberg?

Well, but to Ebro's point, no one ever saw what happened afterwards. I don't remember. Did she see it? And for herself, I'm just like, why.

Are you playing with this, bro? Because.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, first of all, first of all, isn't she. Is it? Isn't she? Tiffany Haddish is Ethiopian or Eritrean?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Eritrean, I believe. I think. Yeah, yeah, right.

[Ebro Darden]

And she did her heritage and, and listen, there are. There is a large Jewish population in East Africa, right? Like that whole region all the way up to Israel, right? That when you, when you hear of the Hebrews that's who they were talking about. So her lineage could be tied to all of this?

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, it is. But that still doesn't mean, like.

Well, no.

[Ebro Darden]

And the reason I use the word could is because people can also convert to Judaism. They don't, you know.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't have to be ethnically.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Right. And I don't remember. I just know she's Jewish. But to Laura's point, it seemed like she was just jumping in on the. I got a free trip to Israel. Let me. Let me act like I'm going to do my own research is how it played off.

[Ebro Darden]

But again, you think she got promo? You think she got the. You know, the. What is that called? The birthright, where she got the paid promo where he goes over there and acts like everything's all hunky dory. I think doing it the right way.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I think most celebrities who went to Israel in the time post October 7th, it was a. It was a promo trip for the most part. That's my. That's my thought.

[Ebro Darden]

That's your assessment.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's my assessment, anyway.

But yeah, the marriage to herself is just promo, I guess.

[Ebro Darden]

All right, back to the super chat. Who's.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Let's go.

[Ebro Darden]

And these are people giving money. You want to shout them out?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes. They're supporting us.

[Ebro Darden]

We're already. We're already moving like some sort of elite community where if you don't have money to share with us, you don't even get no love. That is not true. Is a good idea.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That is not true. But I am going to highlight the people who are supporting us a little extra because I appreciate it.

There you go.

Queen Medina is the one. Shout out to you. All right. Sony 14 three. Then we have Scooby the Don 2352. Thank you. And Philly Fan. Fan.

[ASAP Rocky]

So fake.

[Ebro Darden]

Thank you. So fake.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, thank you, guys. Seriously, thank you for supporting us.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, Laura Styles.

[Aaron Partners]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

You're not gonna shout out just people saying love, y'. All like, like knickknack33 or Ms. Dre245. Who says Tiffany Hadish is unfunny.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Damn.

[Ebro Darden]

Damn. For. For Leazy 06. She's a plant.

[Laura Rosenberg]

A plant.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, yo, let's see. Zelo got the fire. 4427 never caught us live. He's hype. She's hype. Whoever.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Well, continue to catch us live because in a few minutes we're heading over to Patreon. So I know ELR show on Patreon. Come be with Us. Well, I think that's another thing we should do Ebro on the. On the Patreon, because obviously it'll be a smaller chat than we have here.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay.

[Laura Rosenberg]

We can spend a little bit more time answering questions from the chat, Talking with people, etc. Etc.

We can do that. And then really quickly, Steven Steve 89, Kim Broadra 914, Hot Rod Rick, who's always, you know, arguing.

We love. We love.

[Ebro Darden]

And what's the kid? Tommy Riz.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Ebro Darden]

He's. They're always posting our stuff. Listen, we will be establishing like. Or at least I'm trying to. Laura flaked on the phone call. I think King Lou joined it like an influencer campaign where we developed, like, the El Army.

[Laura Rosenberg]

The El army, for real? Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Where we could get out here and, you know, really have. Look. Cause I'll be honest. And I've been thinking about this for a while.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Here we go. He's gonna be honest.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm constantly battling with Uzi Vert fans, Nicki Minaj fans, OVO hoes. You know what I'm saying? I need my own squad. Who's ready to get in the comments and mix it up? I ain't gonna hold you. I'm tired of throwing these hands.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Me too. It is tiring.

I will say. Like on our Instagram, Ebro, Laura Rosenberg, Go follow it on IG you. Yo, our thoughts get busy. Like, I know I get spicy in there, and the next thing you know, I'm like, whoa, I didn't even need to do all that.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm trying to figure it out to. I'm trying to make it, like, worth their while. I ain't gonna hold you. Because I feel like the rest of these. The rest of these crews, they're financed. They're heavily financed.

[Laura Rosenberg]

So you want to.

[Ebro Darden]

I want to. Well, only because I feel like our El army, they got jobs, so they can't just be in comments all day.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, I get it. I get it.

You want to pay for bots is what you're saying.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, no, but we want to give incentives. Like, we're trying to secure some concert tickets to give away. I'm trying to get some cash giveaways by Cash app. I'm like, come on, Cash app.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, when it comes out, it's gonna be like Ebro uses bots to. I'll be like, hell, yeah. I'm not gonna be like the rest of these cats, acting like it didn't happen.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, you're not.

[Ebro Darden]

Damn right. There was a crew for Hire. I hired a gang to get busy.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But this. This is going to be. This is going to be what our downfall is, because we're going to be too honest. It's going to blow right up in our face. This is what happens when the good guys try to play the bad guy game. It's going to be. It worked for everyone else, but they're going to know ours are bots and it's going to fail.

[Ebro Darden]

We know theirs are bots.

[Laura Rosenberg]

We're not talking about bots. We're talking about real people.

No, Laura, that's what you're talking about. Ebro wants a bot army, all right? You're talking about us being able to incentivize a hundred people. Wants 100,000. Era wants white walkers.

[Ebro Darden]

He wants 100,000 white walkers. Zombies out.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah. No.

[Ali Jackson]

No.

[Ebro Darden]

Walking dead white walkers. Give me another one.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I'm fighting for the rails.

Laura, we got to. We got to get some stuff.

We got to get to the rundown. Let's do it.

Laura got the rundown. Turn that up. Screens on GLOW when she pull up.

[Ebro Darden]

Headlines heavy, but we still still caught up. Light still flashing, we don't slow up. Light still flashing, we don't slow up.

[Laura Rosenberg]

All right, all right. Well, you know, ASAP Rocky has been on full promo, but he is going on the road asap. Rocky revealed his dates for his upcoming Don't Be Dumb World tour, kicking off on May 27th in Chicago. And it includes stops across North America, and then he's going to go internationally. So it should be a lot of fun. So for people who really want to get these tickets, they are set to go on sale beginning January 27th at 9:00am But Ebro, I did see that you sat down with ASAP Rocky.

[Ebro Darden]

I thought she was gonna snub me on. I'm always waiting to get snubbed by my. My colleagues. Never covering my content.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I. I love that you guys talked about this, because this happened a while ago, but I wanted to get the tea on. What happened to Rocky when he was arrested in. Where is it? Switzerland?

[Ebro Darden]

Sweden.

[Laura Rosenberg]

In Sweden. Watch this.

[ASAP Rocky]

I couldn't understand nothing that was on. All right, let me break it down. The cell is about the size of this, like, area here. A little bit smaller, right? No bathroom. Just a sink and a mirror and a bed with a desk, a little cot, right? You gotta stay in your cell for 23 or 24 hours. You're allowed to go upstairs for 30 minutes to the roof and get some air. And it's. It's like no basketball Court, it's just dudes. Just everybody either working out in circ, in circles, smoking cigarettes and all talking, right? And those brothers would be the ones that tell me what the hell they were saying on TV every day, because I didn't know. I didn't understand that jujitsu system. Like, why am I still here? I didn't even do nothing. I was so low. But when I saw my peers, different rappers, different singers, different entertainers, different people, just different. Black, white, Latin, everybody, Indian, Asian, like, all agreeing, like, yo, that ain't right. Free that man. Free him. Honestly, Ebro, that uplifted my spirit so crazy that even when I got out, I was still on a high from that. Like, damn, that's love.

[Aaron Partners]

Wow.

[Ebro Darden]

He went on to. You know, he went on. And you could check the full interview, I believe it's out today on Apple Music. He went on to talk about Trump screwing things up for him.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, he did?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. He got specific. He was like, yo, they kept. They at. I was on the verge of getting out. Like, literally on the verge. And he started tweeting and talking, and they were like, now you're facing eight years. And he was like, come on, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

How long did he end up being in there in the end?

[Ebro Darden]

I think it was like, three weeks or a month.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Like a mama. Way too long.

No, he talks about it way, way casually. I watched the full clip yesterday. I'm like, this is so casual for something that would have been so scary to me.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, I think people forget, man. Rocky grew up in New York City, and he was in homeless shelters. You know what I'm saying? He's really like, people forget the. Or the kind of ASAP Rocky origin story, I think, a little bit.

[Laura Rosenberg]

So he's been in scary situations.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, he's a street kid, man, who, you know, I mean, he talked about a lot, man. It's a great interview. Talked about his relationship with Rihanna and just how, like, how they are, right? Like, how much fun they're having. He talked about his daughter. Obviously, we get into the album, and if you tune in to Patreon, you know, after today's show, we're gonna get into more of that, so lock in on Patreon. Subscribe.

[Laura Rosenberg]

All right.

Other.

Another thing that was buzzing around yesterday that I love Rosenberg. Did you ever tune into the Hunting Wives?

Never. No.

My God. So my friends kept talking about it, and I was like, I don't want to watch this. So I finally gave it a shot. It's about, like, these women in the south, and they're just like. It's basically like MAGA women. But all the craziness that happens behind the scenes, the hypocrisy, they're all like, you know, cheating on their husbands, you know, getting abortions. All kind of crazy stuff that they.

[Ebro Darden]

All the stuff they vote against.

[Ali Jackson]

Of course.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Talk about it.

I, I saw the whole season and it was actually pretty good. And our girl Angel Reese just landed a role in season two.

Oh, so it's not a reality show.

[Aaron Partners]

This is.

[Laura Rosenberg]

This is an actual show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hunting Wives is a real show.

[Ebro Darden]

So I was just happy for reality show.

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, not reality.

Oh, it sounds pretty good.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, because when you throw wives on it, you automatically think of all of the other wiving basketball wives. Yeah, the referee show.

[Laura Rosenberg]

When I heard wives, I was like, all right, here we go.

[Ali Jackson]

Not reality.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's actually pretty good. Yeah. And Angel Reese is playing.

Angel Reese is outside. She is modeling, she's acting. She's doing all the things.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, now, quick, quick, sidebar. Rosenberg. Where did things end up with the WNBA contract? Wasn't there like a whole renegotiation? Did they get more money? I mean, shout to Angel Reese and the others who have a profile outside of WNBA to get at real bags.

[Laura Rosenberg]

But my guess is the negotiations happening right now in their off season. I don't think we have. We don't know yet. What, what? I don't think we have a result.

[Ebro Darden]

It's still going, still going on.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah. They've got a minute now. Laura, in the, in the. Since you just mentioned a TV show situation, also want to point out that WWE Unreal Season 2 dropped on Netflix yesterday. That's the behind the scenes. That's the. That's the reality show about wwe.

This is the Bochin Shay.

It's the. It's the Bochin Chase show. That would have like old timey wrestlers rolling over in their grave, coming back from the dead and killing themselves to see them completely exposing the business in every way. But it's, it's the second season and like, I'm not gonna lie to you, like some people like, you know, have mixed feelings on it who are hardcore fans. It's incredibly entertaining. It is. Yo, yo. It is incredibly entertaining.

Oh, nice.

Wait, Lou said Road Dog was getting killed online yesterday. Why was Road Dog getting killed? I love there's an R truth story and they go back to his origin story with this guy Road dog who was in DX and their story together had me super emotional.

Oh, oh.

People were making fun of him. As a storylines. Got it.

[Ali Jackson]

Okay.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Laura, Laura. Even someone who does not watch, I promise you, you will watch the show.

It sounds good. Okay.

It's fantastic. A lot of stuff on Seth and Becky this season. Really, really entertaining.

[Ebro Darden]

Rosenberg. So you as somebody that is kind of old timey, let's be honest, you've become old timey.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah. And in general. And in hip hop.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Just all time.

[Ebro Darden]

So. But you're saying it's entertaining. What would the old timey. Why wouldn't people like this other plot line, this deeper relationship with the performer?

[Laura Rosenberg]

They're literally, they're literally exposing how the business works. Like they literally are saying, they're showing the conversations where Triple H is going up to someone and saying, here's what we're going to do. You're going to do this, you're going to do that.

[Ebro Darden]

Then why do you, why do you think they made this business decision in their new corporate structure?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Because there was an opportunity to make more money and put more people onto the product. And that is the, that's the thing. I mean, listen, you know what I mean? It's, there's upside and downside to all of these situations. I think from the upside, a lot of entertainment for people and it will make new fans.

Like I was just going to say.

That people watch the show and when they see someone like Rhea Ripley or Jade Cargill or, you know, Seth Rollins and they've never seen these people before and they're like, oh my God, who are these people? I'm. I'm intrigued by what they look like, by who they are. That will then suck you into like, let me turn on the show. Let me see what this is about. And it's all on Netflix. So you have Raw on Netflix too. It's gonna literally then recommend Raw for you.

[Ebro Darden]

And just because I care about, you know, you know me, I'm always in people's pockets and paying attention to the money. Netflix and wwe, their partnership is all under a larger big ass business umbrella, right?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes, over several years and lots of money.

[Ebro Darden]

Yes, got it. And what's that board that like the Rock is on the board and Triple H is on the board. What company? Tko. And they own a bunch of stuff.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah, they own ufc, they own wwe, they own this bull riding company. They own Zufa Boxing, which is about to launch. Zufa Boxing is about to have their first two fights on back to back weekends. And that's, that's going to be that Dana White is on the board of that as well. And that's going to be like, their attempt to organize boxing and basically fight against the other promoters and organizations that everyone's always complained about rankings, and they're going to try to start a box.

[Ebro Darden]

And all of that. And not allowing guys who are qualified to get the big fights.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's right, because.

[Ebro Darden]

But why would we trust Dana White to do this?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, it's not just Dana White. So I would say Nick Khan, who, you know is the boss at wwe. He's originally a boxing guy, loves boxing, comes from boxing. He's always wanted this. But, like, you know, this is just one small thing. But for someone like you, Ebro, I think we'll have impact. Like, Max Kellerman is on the call for these.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay, Max. Max is back.

[Laura Rosenberg]

They're making boxing.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, bring Max on the show. Can we talk to Max? Where's he from?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Sure. Oh, nah, you know what? Ebro? Nah, we can't. No, we can't, because I know. Because the last thing I'm gonna do when Ebro wants to randomly go at.

[Ebro Darden]

Stephen a, bring Max up here. Let me stop it, Max.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah, I'll do it.

[Ebro Darden]

You saw me telegraphing. You saw where I was going.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yo, I will be sick that day.

Yes, yes.

Come on.

We need him to keep his job.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Dead ass. Deadass. The timing could be good because if I have to take a day next week when I'm in Saudi Arabia and I can't be there. No, it's right.

[Ebro Darden]

Max Kellerman.

[Laura Rosenberg]

It's right before the boxing starts. So you can have Max up to do promo. I'll be gone. And that way when Ebro goes. So let's talk about your man Stephen A. Doing the dance.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, Stephen a. I here. Soft sh.

[Laura Rosenberg]

And I. I will just be gone. Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Max has always been on the right side of history.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, oh, Max.

[Ebro Darden]

He don't play. Max does not.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Max, my dude. Max is my dude. Max Kellerman is a. I'm super happy he's gonna be back at boxing. Not. Not like he needed the check. My man Max has done great in every moment of his life. But yo, Max was an underground rapper with his. With his brother, God rest his soul. The two of them had a rap group, got actually signed as kids. Yeah. And then he started his boxing show on. On. On. On cable and then. Yeah, but he's always been on the progressive, anti racist. Loves hip hop, loves sports. Nah, Max a great guy.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, man. Let's go, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I might have to show you the Max video on the Patreon. If you've never seen It.

[Ebro Darden]

It's crazy. Hey, yo, Nick Khan, Dana White. I'm watching. I'm paying attention. I don't know if I like the name Zufa. I don't know if I like that. I don't know what the hell that is. Y' all gonna have to explain that to me. But we're paying attention. If y' all start moving funny, Rosenberg, hit the dancing music. Rosenberg will keep dancing. We want to keep him at. Oh, yeah, we don't want no smoke.

[Laura Rosenberg]

That's right.

[Ebro Darden]

Rosenberg will start dancing and I gotta get into it. You know what I'm saying? Y' all don't. Don't start moving.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I love whatever they're doing. I think it's so good.

[Ebro Darden]

Laurel, get your finger banging. It'll be a good time.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Don't say it like that.

[Ebro Darden]

Listen, I didn't come up with that. Your friend came up with that. That's right. Roseburg's wife Natalie came up with Laura's finger banger.

[Laura Rosenberg]

My wife is filthy. So, I mean, don't we have to.

[Ebro Darden]

Happy, happy marriages, you know, don't we.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Have to hit the original gurus?

[Ebro Darden]

Let's get to the OGs before we take it to Patreon.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, I got something good for Patreon. I was going to do it here, but we're running out of time.

[Ebro Darden]

The original gurus. Gmail dot com.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Okay, you have a gurus gmail dot com. Breathe in, breathe out. Zen, Zen, Zen. Rosenberg. Who's out there? Who's writing to us? Who needs us?

Laura. So many people send us their messages at the original gurusmail.com. your destination for clarity. Here we go. Hello, gurus. Long time listener, first time emailer.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I hope he joins us on Patreon. ELR show on Patreon will be there in just a few minutes. I'm a 34 year old black American male. I've been married to my wife for five years. We now have three children together. Y' all gotta pop it in. Five years prior to marriage. We've been together on and off since high school. 16 years old.

Okay, okay.

Just for a little context, I was her first sexual partner. My now wife and I broke up freshman year of college. And we attended the same college. I initiated the breakup. We both talked to other people about six months later. After the breakup, we hooked up again. While hooking up, I noticed her vajayjay felt different.

[Ebro Darden]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Laura Rosenberg]

As if she had had sex that day prior to having sex with me. Or like the person she was having sex with was Blessed. A little context. He was an upperclassman, 6 3, starting football player, and part of Omega Sci Fi. Yo, I didn't know we were getting the man's bio who took down your wife.

I know.

Is this about to turn into an orgy? What's going on? He was hot. He was chocolate. No. I don't know where we're going. After our sex session, I asked the forbidden question. Who's better? She went on. She went on to say me because he was, quote, small down there, but he lasted longer than me. I obviously didn't believe her. I asked more questions. Did y' all have oral sex? Did you sleep with us both in the same day? Her answer was no.

[Ebro Darden]

I hate this.

[Laura Rosenberg]

For this email so far. I hate all of it. No, no, Ebro, so far. This is bad. Like, we're going 20 years back on this right now on sex. Here we go. I find it hard to believe that a freshman in college had only one sex partner, which was me, who is dealing with an older man. I don't understand what he's saying there. So years later, we get back together and eventually get married and have kids. But through the years, from that moment in college up until recently, I've asked those same questions. And she's always denied and also would say, why does it matter if she did or did not because we weren't together? I still don't believe her. Ultimately, I still want the truth. I'm skipping ahead.

[Ebro Darden]

Stop this. Stop this. Make it stop. Get me off the roller coaster. Tell this guy to go get therapy. Shut your ass up.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Side bow. Grow up. Get over it. What is your problem? You have children now. Like grow.

[Laura Rosenberg]

I know, my man.

Why are you stuck on this still.

Now, listen, Laura, this is. This is let. Ebro. This is a man thing. Because men are dumb. Are you still 18? You're saying y' all are 34. You have three children together. You've been on the roller coaster of Life for near 20 years. And you were only broken up for a little bit of time. So she may have hooked up with a couple of people. I'm sure you did, too. Why are you. Ebro is right. You need to get in therapy. Sir, you need to think about not why. I need the truth. Why am I obsessed over this?

[Ebro Darden]

Well, not only that. Not only that, but as you mature as a human being, both male and female, you begin to realize that the connection that you have between somebody physically, while. Yes, when you were young and you were just like, you know, out here. Out here having sex for sport. Just to see you. Just to see your six pack while you're hitting it from the back or whatever the hell you was doing. Right. That's not a real connection. Right? You and your wife have a real connection. That's why you have three children. That's why you came back together after high school. That's why you're emailing. Honestly, once you realize that your concern is really tied to the fact that you love this woman so much that you are now becoming a psycho, worried about her past. That's where you need therapy. You think, you think you're asking these questions on some like, yo, I don't believe. And you know I was her first and you know I'm the one that matters. Some ego stuff is in there for sure. But the truth of the matter is, sir, you're a scared widow, man.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, he's going in.

[Ebro Darden]

You're a little man widow, man. And you're intimidated. You're intimidated by your wife's past. And you need to grow up and realize that she loves you. That's why she carried children three times in five years. You know how hard that is?

[Laura Rosenberg]

No, you know what the worrisome, you know what the worrisome part is though, Ebro? The worrisome part for me is like I kind of worry for her, his wife, in the sense that this is a problematic way of thinking.

Yeah.

Like if she had cheated on you a month ago, a year ago, hey, five years ago. I understand you being like, I still think about this. This is still very hard for me. Blase, blah, blah, blah. However, to be sitting here 18 years after the fact or whatever it is. 16 or 18 years after the fact, Laura, and you're still thinking about that moment. Like, you know that just for you. Just for the record, buddy, I can speak for me and Laura, for example. We met our forever people as full on grown ass adults.

That's right.

Where everybody involved had done the dirty of the dirt already by the time you got there.

That's right.

And you can't spend your time like, listen, Natalie loves to relive the past in general. Like, she's a photo person. She loves going through photos. This is 2015, when I was doing this and I was doing this and I will look at everything. Am I not saying that? Every once in a while she'll say, oh, this is when I was with so and so. And I like sort of half tongue in cheek. I'm like, all right, babe, sure. But am I really like, wait, did you guys have sex that Day.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, because here's why, Rose, what happened that day? Here's. Here's a next layer to it. The next layer to it is, I don't care what document you have. I don't care what priest you stood in front of, how many different ways you got married. I don't care about none of that. Right. Because a grownup, a human is going to go do what they want to do anyway. You don't know if your wife walked outside today and blew the guy at the corner.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Oh, boy, here we go.

[Ebro Darden]

You have no idea. Zero. You have zero idea. But you love and trust that that's not what they want to do because they made a commitment to you as a person.

[Natalie (Laura's wife)]

No, she did it. She's outside. Your wife's outside.

[Aaron Partners]

Stop.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Because he's gonna be like, yeah, she is, isn't she?

I heard the devil today.

[Ebro Darden]

But if you. If you don't trust the person that you're with, that's why you need to go have therapy. Like, why won't you trust them? Especially if they've given you no reason not to.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes.

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

I want to say it again. God, I want to say it again. We are all in relationships where we are operating on our word. You might feel like your marriage certificate or your family or whatever is keeping things from going off the rails.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Subtle. Subtle. Ebro marriage shot. You catch?

[Ebro Darden]

No, no, no, no, no. I. I mean, I'm fine with marriage. I'm just saying the reality of it.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Is it doesn't make a difference. No, it's all.

[Ebro Darden]

If your person wants to go do some wow ish today, right now, it's gonna happen. So you gotta trust them.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, let me ask a question, though. And we got to wrap up and get on Patreon ELR show. We're gonna keep the whole show going until 10 o'. Clock. To me a time, however, riddle me this. Okay, buddy? She did it.

[Ebro Darden]

She did it.

[Laura Rosenberg]

She was 18, 19 years old. She was still seeing the other guy. They smashed in the morning. She was seeing a new guy. It was exciting. Then y' all hung out later and connected later, and she did it. You guys had sex again. Where does that leave you if that happened?

Yeah, what are you gonna do?

[Ebro Darden]

She's a whore.

[Laura Rosenberg]

She wanted to have sex again. You were the person she was comfortable with and already knew. Y' all were open with the fact that you were dating other people. You know how many people out here have had something like that happen? This is. What are you gonna do? You're gonna judge? She did.

[Ebro Darden]

She had sex with two people. You know what he's really scared of? He's really scared that deep down in his psyche somewhere, that actually turned him on.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Well, no, see, Ebro, this is when you go too far. You are not Dr. Phil.

[Ebro Darden]

That actually turned him on. And. And he wants to talk to her about it in detail so that they can relive it again so that.

[Laura Rosenberg]

You know what? Maybe he's. Maybe you're righty, bro. No, honestly, maybe you're right. Because the way he started describing him. Yeah, yeah, he was. Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

And part of it is. But she still ended up with me.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yes. God.

[Ebro Darden]

And he just can't walk himself through all of these details. You got to grow up, my guy. You gotta get therapy.

[Laura Rosenberg]

All right? Get therapy. So say the gurus.

[Ebro Darden]

That Q dog had her in a pretzel, though, with his tongue out.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Ebro just read that. Ebro just read that in the chat. And now you're quoting Nastiness.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, run that George Clinton atomic dog for all the cute dogs. How you doing that?

[Laura Rosenberg]

Why are you doing this? He was the guy who wrote us. This is what. Don't attack, man. No, he's a bad guy. No, I just want everyone to remember your beloved hero, E bro. He's a bad guy.

[Ebro Darden]

N. Yo, he had them gold boots on. You know them gold boots they be wearing when they stomping through the pool. And he was just. He was like. He had his gold boots on while he was, like, using them for traction to just.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Every time he was enter to the mat. Yo, see, you're going too far. You're. Honestly. You're going too far. I'd find you and fight you if I'm this guy. But I will say this joke, though. You know, for the next three years, when he was at the club, nothing's more annoying than frat boy starting to step in the club. He was like, clear the dance floor. Here come the cubes.

[Ebro Darden]

He was like.

[Laura Rosenberg]

Yo, you got to go on Patreon. The party continues. Yeah, our show on Patreon, the Post is already up. Give us about a minute or two to get over there, but we're going to keep going on Patreon. Play music, talk. Talk to your. The people in the comments. It's gonna be good. If not, we'll see you here tomorrow.
